The Toronto circuit looks like a slightly expanded go kart track so I seriously doubt it.

Yeah I was trying to work my head around and that seems to be the only two venues I could think F1 would have any remote interest in acquiring. I'm not sure Bernie would value Toronto as he already did/does have Montreal. LA? Yeah he's still trying to get a hold of that. Mexico City probably? But that's about it.

Schumacher fighting hard for any position is not unusual, even 16th or whatever. Schumacher looking like a 3rd Toro Rosso driver was pretty unusual though.

Is Rush better during a re-watch? It makes me really love Bruhl's portrayal of Lauda quite a bit more than when I first saw it in theaters.

George Zimmer posted:The worst part about that car was that when it worked, it was fantastic. Could easily keep up pace with the McLaren's, but the gearbox was constantly making GBS threads itself. Plus, it was gorgeous: I was 9 then, it's basically the first F1 car I really knew, it's still "F1 car dot jpeg" in my head. First time I ever saw F1 cars in person was the near identical 1990 car and Mansell taking pole at Silverstone when I was at Woodcote.

I think 1995 was the first F1 season I paid attention to. I had watched some of 1994 (not THAT race) and said I wanted to be a racing driver but my parents basically laughed and said "I don't think so"

Actually no I lied because I watched the last V10s which was 06. Such an amazing difference in sound

1992-1998 was the peak of F1 for me as I grew up. It's slowly becoming less entertaining as I get closer to 30.

The past 4/5 season have been far more entertaining than the early-mid 00 season where you had ferrari pretty much dominating and no one else in the midfield could pass. The past few years title races have been a real up and down on excitement and while one team seems to end up dominating there usually something going on through the field. Its not perfect but its not the total processions that f1 was for a good 6 to 8 seasons in my time watching.

I remember F1 being a "thing" for me from when I was around 7 or 8 in 1995: Adelaide's last Grand Prix year. Being that I lived in Adelaide, my primary (elementary) school liked to make the whole weekend an educational event. I remember making (my mum did most of it) a pretty slick silver cardboard F1 car that I got to run around in making NNYYYEEEEEEEOOOWWWW sounds in. Some of the first races I can vividly remember are from 1996 though, Brundle barrel rolling into the gravel trap in Melbourne driving a Jordan I think it was, an absolutely rain soaked Monaco in which a plucky young Brazilian finished 3rd in a new upstart team run by a former world champion, and also Schumacher vs Villeneuve in Jerez where Schumacher hosed himself out of the championship. I also remember watching the race in which Panis smashed into a wall and broke his legs, that would have been mid-90s as well in Monaco? Montreal?

Fun fact: that Brundle crash in Australia was the first year after they raised the sides of the cockpit

Jenson Button: Formula 1 star may switch to endurance championshipquote:Jenson Button is considering a switch to the world endurance championship should he fail to land a competitive Formula 1 seat for next season. This is the best bit: quote:It is conceivable that Button, the 2009 world champion, may end up taking the matter out of McLaren's hands. I would laugh so hard if this happened and Alonso decided to take a sabbatical, leaving Mclaren to pick through what's left of the drivers market.. wishful thinking

I remember watching my first race in 2014, I get very nostalgic when people talk about tyre compounds, energy recovery systems, drag reduction systems and double point grand finals.

In shocking news, Mercedes are against lifting the engine development freeze for next season.

I love this movie. Especially because it was filmed during the actual 24 Hours of Le Mans. One of the camera cars came in 9th place. It was spoiled only because of the giant cameras on it and the fact it had to stop a lot to change film reels.

Alain Post posted:The 640/641 is my favorite F1 car ever. 1989, despite the McLaren walkover, is maybe my favorite season ever. I don't think the '89 season had 1 ugly car. They all looked good. That Honda V10 was a monster of an engine too.

I love the '97 grid personally, it was when they finally got the look of the high-nose cars right. Don't think I've really liked a grid since the '98 rule changes. I've always thought the proportions of the '98-'03 cars were extremely ungainly and clumsy looking. I do kind of like the mid-late-00s aero monsters, though. The current regs look wrong.

Aside from the Tyrrell the high-nose cars were really ugly bulbous things from 1991-1996. The Benettons looked particularly bad, but maybe it was that horrid Green/Puke Yellow paint scheme.

Hell, maybe we'll get a Button/Webber nice-if-rather-ineffective dream team. e: although looking at it, Ah Mahk has finished 3rd, 12th, NC, 5th, 3rd. Not sure how many cars that's out of. Not earth-shattering but not bad, at first glance. simplefish fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Oct 17, 2014 |
